Jamie Lynn Spears Is Getting Special Treatment From 'DWTS' Team

Jamie Lynn Spears has joined "Dancing With the Stars" for the upcoming season. The former child actress is partnered with pro Alan Bersten.

It seems that the "Dancing With the Stars" team is going above and beyond to make sure Spears is able to compete as the production crew is allowing the "Zoey 101" star to practice near her Tennessee home rather than in the L.A. studio.

The "Dancing With the Stars" production team is giving the actress and mom some special treatment in order to get her on the show's upcoming season.

Sources tell TMZ that the production team is allowing the mother of two to practice at a studio near her home in Tennessee. The local practices are a huge help for Spears as she is a very hands-on mom to her children, 5-year-old Ivey and 15-year-old Maddie.

Almost all of the other contestants for the upcoming season appear to be practicing at a studio in Los Angeles, so the fact that the "Dancing With the Stars" team is accommodating Spears just goes to show how bad they wanted her on this season.

In the past, we have seen some stars practice outside of the L.A. studio, typically if they were filming or had other commitments prior to signing the "Dancing With the Stars" contract.

After it was announced that she would be joining "Dancing With the Stars", Jamie Lynn Spears took to social media to pledge that she would donate her salary for the WGA writer’s strike and the SAG-AFTRA actor’s strike.

“Decided to lace up my dancing shoes for a good reason,” Jamie Lynn wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “I was offered an opportunity that is completely out of the ordinary of something I would normally ever do, but it’s during a time where my community #SAG & #WGA are on strike & all of us members are unable to work until we have reached a fair resolution, so if I’m able to use this unique opportunity to bring more awareness and to donate the salary I get for dancing each week back to the community who has given me so much, then it’s the least I can do.”

“I could not ask for a better partner then @alanbersten to guide me through this adventure,” she continued. “I’m not gonna lie, I’m scared, but I’m just gonna have fun and hopefully be able to give back in a meaningful way until we can ALL GET BACK TO OUR DAY JOBS.” She ended her post with the hashtags #SAGAFTRASTRONG, #WGA, and #SAG.
